Since you're using a kiting build, you should swap out the shield for a source, ideally one with like 100-300 damage and some crit, but finding one can be a pain because of AH search limitations and vast overpricing of sources in general.
Also, a new MH would serve you well, if you can find one with around the same, or even slightly lower dps, with either crit damage, a socket, or ideally both, but the double crit weapons are usually in the millions so maybe start with just socket or crit damage for now. Aim for a weapon with fast attack speed if you can choose. Eitherway I'd recommend using a spreadsheet for weapon shopping since a lot of factors contribute to how it affects your dps, including attack speed (if you have a source), Int, weapon dps, sockets, crit damage.
I don't say this often but you might actually need more HP or resists/armor for Act 3. Typical kiter builds aim for 118k EHP, effective hit points, for Acts 3 and 4 to make use of Force Armor, assuming you're using it now. I'd recommend aiming for that as you look at upgrading items. There are numerous EHP calculators floating around, and I have included one on my wizard based dps spreadsheet found in these forums, so obviously I recommend that one but others should work fine also.
If your survival doesnt depend on criticals you can find some sources without crit, but with intelligence and sheer damage(100+-390+) for pretty cheap if you shop around.
It basically gave me the best overview to aim for each piece of gear. In terms of your gear the above listed for MH and OH are good. You could also go for +Armor and All Resistance on your Belt and shoulders. Crit chance could be found on bracers. For rings, ammy, and gloves I aim for as much damage stats as possible like Int, Crit Chance, Crit damage and IAS, and less survivability stats. Life regeneration is also a good survivabilty stat to look for on chest, pants, belt and shoulders. That is my humble opinion.

I'm actually up to ~2 million now gold wise since that was taken.
Here are my unbuffed stats:

I'm not really sure what to purchase, or if I should just hold off. At this point I die very rarely on act 1, and have gotten past Mahgda in act 2.
Thanks gentlemen.

I'm considering a source but you're right about it being incredibly difficult to find one. The MH advice is definitely something I didn't consider.
